Other questions
One ticket covers both the Southend Pier Marathon and the Multi Storey Marathon. The entry page lists a single weekender price of £110 for affiliated runners and £112 for unaffiliated runners.
The pier race is held on an open pier on a single fixed date and the organiser has no cancellation insurance. If conditions are too rough the event cannot be held, and the decision may not be possible until the day itself. Entries cannot be refunded, so the organiser asks runners to weigh this up before entering.
The event is based in Southend-on-Sea in Essex, with the pier marathon on Southend Pier and the Multi Storey Marathon inside a multistorey car park. The listed what3words reference for the event location is frost.salt.slam.
The entry page only advertises a weekender ticket covering both races. Check the Sussex Trail Events website or contact the organiser to see whether a single race entry is offered.
Both are full marathon distances on hard surfaces. The pier marathon is exposed to sea weather and wind, while the Multi Storey Marathon is a relentless series of climbs and descents on concrete inside a car park, which is why it carries a six hour cut off.
